Public works reports 8,284 vehicles counted on Upper Red Creek Road; chip‑and‑seal work planned
Summary
Public works director Casper reported 8,284 vehicles recorded on Upper Red Creek Road between June 30 and July 21 (about 403 vehicles per day), noted more than 90% were passenger cars/light trucks, and outlined near‑term chip‑and‑pave and shoulder operations.
Duchesne County’s public works director reported July 28 that traffic counts on Upper Red Creek Road between June 30 and July 21 recorded 8,284 vehicles — roughly 403 vehicles per day — and that more than 90% of the traffic were passenger cars and light trucks.
Director Casper told commissioners the department completed extensive chipping work and planned to "wrap up our chip and then capture and pave the projects we wanna do," with about a mile of work planned and shoulder‑machine operations expected in about a month. Casper and other commissioners praised the road crew's attention to detail and said they had received compliments on recent county road work.
Commissioners discussed follow‑up actions including striping plans and scheduling a shoulder machine visit; staff said they would forward the full traffic‑count data to commissioners and set up a follow‑up meeting for on‑site review if needed. No formal vote or funding decision was requested during the update.
